Levels of Editing Privileges for Contract Authoring

The level of editing a contract author can perform on contract terms depends on the privileges granted to them during security setup. Administrators can assign a contract author privileges ranging from the basic to advanced.

Privilege Levels and What They Permit

This table lists the privileges that grant different levels of editing abilities from the basic to the most advanced. Each privilege adds additional authoring capabilities to the privileges before it, but the privileges aren't cumulative. The contract author with a higher privilege must be granted privileges for the lower levels too. For example, a contract author with a level 3 privilege must be granted the level 1 and level 2 privileges as well.

Level	Privilege	Description
1	Author Standard Contract Terms and Conditions	Restricts contract authoring to applying contract terms templates, validating the contract, and running Contract Expert when required. It includes the ability to change the template or attach the contract terms as a file.
2	Author Additional Standard Contract Terms and Conditions	Adds the ability to add, delete, and move the standard clauses and sections after the contract terms template is applied. This includes the ability to select alternate clauses.
3	Author Nonstandard Contract Terms and Conditions	Allows authoring of nonstandard terms and conditions in the contract. This includes editing standard clauses, creating nonstandard clauses, removing contract terms, and importing edits made offline in Microsoft Word.
4	Override Contract Terms and Conditions Controls	Adds the ability to edit protected clauses and delete mandatory clauses and sections in contract terms.
